there was an op-ed below mitt romney's and the next battleground in the state labor wars. i will summarize. michigan will have a constitutional state amendment on their ballot in november. to make it jordan sweet, it will really empower unions, so potentially what happened in indiana, right to work state won't happen. my question is, boy, michigan, how well did the unions and the auto industry turn out? think gm bailout. this is shocking to me because the states that seem to be going the other way show so much more economic depth in the recovery. thoughts? >> well, first of all, you're right. the key on this question, though, to look a little bit deeper is that it is really about public employee unions because the private unions are protected by federal law, but what this question is on the ballot is basically saying that the rights of collective bargaining apply to all public employees, so let's take it one step further. what it really means is when it comes to michigan and the state government's ability to say, look, foodservice in the schools will be handled by private
